Hope its priced affordable .... though prolly no hope for that till bulldozer does something worthwhile.

Drolling :O !

but there's almost no software even to efficiently use 4 cores leave alone 8C/16T..
though just can't stop :drool2:

dude its a Xeon processor. Its for servers. It will be minimum $1000. also clock is 1.6Ghz. AMD is retail with a base clock of 3.4Ghz minimum. As such sandy bridge is priced in the higher range so imagine these:S

also clock is 1.6Ghz

umm it's 3GHZ read!

It says 3GHz in the screen shot and its probably not a Xeon CPU. 8/12 core Xeons/opterons already exist, so nothing new in that. As for clocks you must already know that AMD CPU's cannot match clock to clock with Intel and AMD themselves were talking about competing with the first gen Core i5/i7, so I am not sure if AMD can pull of a 3.4GHz octa core that can match a quad 2600k for the same price point, let alone any of the Sandy Bridge E series.

it is, the maximum planned Sandy Bridge E part for Desktops in 1H 2012 is 6 core only, maybe this will come later on, in-case they need to beat AMD (in which case BD might turn out really well, but I won't bet my money on that)

Cant wait !!! WCG monster in the making...

Surely a competitor to Opteron 16-core. Will be an interesting battle.

Is this Ivy Bridge? If not then these are probably workstation CPUs and useless to gamers
